So if I'm in Canada and a pregnant woman tries to kill me I'm pretty much out of luck if I kill her in self defense?

- bryanlarsen 7y agoYou have to have a “reasonable belief that you’re in danger.” and "the level of force needs to be reasonable given the circumstances. " In practice, prosecutors in Canada are quite likely to charge you with a crime no matter what to let the court decide rather than making that decision themselves. Once it hits court, juries are usually quite sympathetic to the self defense argument. (Not a lawyer, this is all heresay).
